I am a software engineer that is constantly learning and feel that Stack Overflow is a way for me to learn and to give back what I've learned. I have been writing software for more than twelve years in a myriad of industries using a ridiculous number of technologies. Over my twelve years of experience I have learned that there are a few things experienced software engineers tend to do that I try to avoid:
- Employ the Law of the Instrument.
- Build solutions that challenge their intellect rather than solve the problem.
Therefore, I'm constantly pushing myself to implement the simplest solution necessary to solve the problem and only complicate it because the problem requires it. However, I understand why these things happen, we get bored!
At any rate, I hope that my answers are helpful, insightful, and complete and I look forward to seeing you on Stack Overflow!

Is saying “Oh My God” really using God's name in vain? @AffableGeek, I'm not trinitarian, I'm oneness. |

Is saying “Oh My God” really using God's name in vain? @AffableGeek: the trinitarian implications of what you are saying are kind of off the map (sorry I don't follow). Even a single person can have more than one name. (do you have more than one name?) |

Is saying “Oh My God” really using God's name in vain? @AffableGeek, if God has more than one name then explain to me the aforementioned scriptures. We can all agree that the name of the Son was Jesus, so if he came in his father's name ... that must be Jesus, and if the Holy Ghost is sent in his name ... it must be Jesus. The point is that there is one name for one God, and just as I am a father, son, and husband, there are different manifestations of God, but only one name. Don't the mentioned scriptures explain themselves as I stated? |

What about the story of the “Rich Man and Lazarus” indicates whether it is a parable or not? @TRiG, can you expand on that a little? |

How is the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus interpreted? @warren, point well taken. Let's assume we don't know when Hell was created, and that it doesn't matter because it wasn't mentioned, but what we do know is that it's a holding place that will be cast into the lake of fire. |

What is the difference between a church and a social club? @AffableGeek, thank you for your support, I appreciate it. In the meantime I've made another enemy it appears. LOL. I can't make everybody happy. |

How is the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus interpreted? However, that is why I try and reach all I can and do all I can to help people stay saved. I love all men and try to live peaceably with all, I want to see Jesus. |

How is the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus interpreted? All, I know that this is hard to swallow, and it doesn't feel good to talk about Hell, but a significant number of souls will end up there. (Is 5:14; Mat 7:13) |

How is the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus interpreted? @warren, clearly he'll was not created during the formation of the world as it's not documented as such nor was it necessary until sin entered into the world. But Luke 10:18 shows where Satan fell like lightening from Heaven and so then a place would have needed to exist for him and his followers to go. |

How is the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus interpreted? @DJClayworth, and what exactly gives you the impression that you know the majority vs. the minority? I mean I take it you've spoken to every person who calls themselves a Christian and ran some statistics on them surrounding every possible topic? |

How is the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus interpreted? @DJClayworth, it appears from this post and others of mine you dislike me, and that's really quite alright, but I'm not sure what you definition of Christians is. Clearly you believe I stand outside that camp, but quite the contrary. Remember, my answers may be in the minority, but Jesus fell in the same category with the Pharisees, you may remember when he spoke to 5,000 and all went away but twelve and even one of them was a devil. Do I come on too strong for you? What is it that you're looking for? Maybe only people who see the bible the way you do? |

What is the difference between a church and a social club? @JimG, so what you're saying is you'd prefer both a newer version of the Bible because the KJV apparently is an invalid translation and you'd prefer somebody's opinion over the Word? Sorry friend but I won't be able to do that, please see 2 Timothy 2:15 - answering questions with the Word of God alone is the way things should be answered, that's why God gave us His Word, right? |

What place do ritual and ceremony have in the church today? (Non-Liturgical POV) @Sticmann, regarding the baptism and communion, that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm actually just showing baptism as it stands scripturally, but I am Apostolic if that has any bearing on how you receive me. And regarding the Lord's Supper, what they were doing was taking communion. The term supper implies a meal, but communion is far from a meal and should not be taken lightly nor should it taste good. The bread used was unleavened (so it didn't taste well at all), just as the painful sacrifice that was to come. |
